If you spend any time around tech stuff, you'll know that "standards" and "specs" are generally vague enough in certain areas to cause weirdness. At least this oddness doesn't break interoperability.
Your Motorola Q syncs quite easily with Outlook and the contact list format can also be exported in various forms. Outlook has seven (7) export formats, including comma delimited, Excel, etc. I forget what my Q had but it was very MS Office friendly.
Can you export the contact list from your Q somehow, get the exact format and post it? I use Motorola Phone Tools quite a bit. I know that you can export your contact list using that program, and then import it back into the phone. Outlook by default has 4 phone number fields, exactly the same as my Motorola Maxx Ve. My thinking is if the contacts can get into the Motorola Maxx Ve in the same format as they are on a Motorola Q, then why wouldn't it work?
We already know that the Cellbrite machine in a Verizon store can copy contacts from the Q to any other Motorola.
Thoughts?

Well, I do spend alot of time on phone stuff, like over 3,000 posts on HowardForums over matters like this. So let's try some more if you are up to it.

I'll see if I can dig up a free copy of Phone Tools - been years since I have needed it. If I can, I'll export and see how it looks.
Sorry if you took my post the wrong way... I didn't write that to belittle you. I meant that there are lots of other instances where this has happened with networking. The early days of IPSEC, most of the IPT protocols like SIP, etc... SIP is the largest RFC in existence... one of the simplest protocols imaginable, so you'd think it would be problem free. Nothing could be further from the truth. Wide variations exist from vendor to vendor which creates lots of quirks and interoperability issues.

Does anyone know if the Blackberry Pearl 8100 pairs and fully works with a 2008 528xi?

The MPT will only be needed for the import to a handset. The Q ought to export in a variety of formats, if it can't already export to Outlook itself.
Oh, I misunderstood - I thought you wanted it in the raw format the phone stored it in and that you were saying I might need MPT to get it that way.
